Spring Gala in St. Louis

Springboard is gearing up for its 2012 Annual Gala, Minds in Motion. This inspiring evening will feature a silent auction, dinner, live entertainment by Springboard Teaching Artist Fanfare, and a live auction. All proceeds will benefit Springboard, the largest provider of arts-in-education programs in St. Louis.

Fifth graders from Wyland Elementary (Ritenour School District) and Hudson Elementary School (Webster Groves School District) are currently participating in the WiseWrite residency, presented by Springboard in collaboration with The Repertory Theatre of St. Louis. Teaching artists and volunteer coaches currently spend 90 minutes once a week with the students to teach the elements of playwriting. A select few of these students' plays will be performed on Tuesday, April 3, at the Repertory Theatre of St. Louis during the 16th annual WiseWrite Festival of One-Act Plays.
